As you brought up the analogy of crops Fishboy, this article is well worth a read and equally applies to the story playing out at OO

Interesting snippet "Hvivo hasn’t put all its eggs into one petri dish — it’s testing for a vaccine as well. THIS MONTH, a batch of volunteers will quarantine for up to 16 days in the lab’s isolated private rooms, their every biochemical process monitored. That certainly puts a new spin on lockdown."

"aloud"damn interpretive text

Cyprus are you just thinking allowed or have you actually got any researched based negative or positive contribution to make?

Hi Daltry, at least we can look fwd to some stability in POO which is one less risk not within HUR's gift to control. This extract from today's Sainsbury RNS

"Clothing and Fuel sales, whilst still down year on year, have started to recover more quickly than expected and our Financial Services business has an improved capital position versus the year end"

Was wondering when the update was due myself until I reread the Jan Update RNS

"Lancaster EPS Production Update
Having completed two full calendar quarters of production, Hurricane now plans to provide quarterly production reports going forward. Updates will be made in the first month of each calendar quarter. "

So that probably means 27th July

Expected the Update to have been published today

Rudey, let's agree on one thing, Cathal is a superb business man and Prof John is a top man to have onboard re COVID. All I am suggesting by way of improvement at these interviews is that he takes the British Govt approach to addressing questions; i.e have the Prof on the link to field the scientific questions rather than shoot from the hip himself which is the Donald Trump approach

No evidence of hot weather preventing the spreads of covid presented in the paper and 2 months proven immunity in same cases I believe is mentioned but hey keep those rose tinted spectacles on

You would hope so Rudey, but having read this co-authored piece I suggest the good Prof is not writing Cathal's script.

Ivyspivey, and I totally agree with your overall assessment of CF's ability as a CEO to get things done and make a profit, hence why I invested here, I was only pointing out that embellishing the truth is unnecessary and detracts from the good story he has to tell here. Notready, you need to look at the cases per million for relevance, and as for the virus not liking hot countries, try telling that to Brazil

barwickman, assuming the whole of the African continent are capable of performing accurate coronavirus testing, agree. However, this doesn't alter the fact that Cathal bends the truth to suit his spiel, his statement re Africa to support a seasonal wave theory was wrong, and his assertion that the presence of Antibodies provides immunity for upto 2 years is also unproven, so what else is he bs on?

Bit of old fashioned research, noting this extract from the latest RNS update which has largely gone unnoticed "An Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG") Committee of the Board has also been established to oversee and report on the impacts of Company operations and products. The Board recognises the importance of embedding ESG considerations into Company strategy, to justify our societal licence to operate and improve sustainability, as well as future financial performance.".

I wonder if HUR will become the beneficiary of offshore windpower.

Perhaps someone could share this link with Cathal before he puts his foot in it again

I wish Cathal would stick to the facts rather than embellishing, quote "Why isn't Coronavirus in Africa, doesn't like sunshine and there are a lot younger skinnier people relatively healthy".
Latest worldometer figures 131,000 cases in South Africa, 63923 in Egypt, 24077 in Nigeria, 11877 in Morocco, 9257 in Sudan, 5811 Kenya, 5570 Ethiopia etc

Well the BB has certainly been entertaining of late, but just remember there should be tolerance of both traders and LTH's. For the most part Candlestick patterns are about spotting market turns, If you can spot a turn, then you can profit from it. The value of candlestick patterns to spot trading opportunities is a thorny topic among the trading community, but there have been statistical studies on the accuracy of technical analysis and the results are pretty convincing, so great for traders. Similarly, LTH's wouldn't dream of investing based purely on charts and must rely on more in depth knowledge of the company and its future prospects. So credit swazers with predicting a bottom during an RNS free period based on MM trends and signals, but also heed the warnings of LTHs that this sp will move significantly up or down on positive/negative news in the scheduled production RNS before end this month. And please remember, no-one is forced to read posts that they find annoying or unhelpful, just filter the poster rather than insult them

I presume the recent sp drop is due to the cancellation of the Crossrail Bond Street contract, which at this stage of the contract will have minimal impact of Costain profits and may even be beneficial given the extra costs that would have been incurred to guarantee COVID safe working conditions.

"The Costain/Skanska joint venture started work at Bond Street in February 2013 on a contract originally valued at £200m which was expected to be completed by February 2017.

A Crossrail Ltd spokesperson said: “In the light of Covid-19, we have been reviewing and re-structuring any works that are essential to opening the railway and to ensure we complete the Elizabeth line in the most effective and efficient way.

“This includes at Bond Street which is uniquely affected by the post-Covid world due to the volume of work remaining and the number of people required on site to complete the station.

“Over the last few weeks Crossrail Ltd has been in discussions with Costain Skanska Joint Venture (CSJV) to agree a way forward for Bond Street.

“As a result, Crossrail Ltd and CSJV have mutually agreed to conclude the existing contract as of midnight on 24 June and will work together to ensure a safe and effective transition. Crossrail Ltd will be putting in place new arrangements to complete the works which largely relate to fit-out and testing and commissioning activity.”

“Despite the significant challenges COVID-19 brings our focus remains on doing everything we can to open the central section between Paddington and Abbey Wood as soon as possible and the earliest possible opening for Bond Street.”

A CSJV spokesperson said: “In the light of COVID-19, Crossrail has been reviewing and re-structuring any works that are essential to opening the railway and to ensure it completes the Elizabeth line successfully.

“This includes at Bond Street which is uniquely affected by the COVID-19 crisis, due to the number of operatives required on site to complete the station.

“Crossrail will now consider plans for any future works in a post COVID-19 environment.

“As a result, Crossrail and CSJV have mutually agreed to conclude the joint venture’s works under the existing contract as of midnight on 24 June and will work together to mitigate costs and to ensure a safe and effective transition.”

Crossrail will complete the works in-house which largely relate to fit-out and testing and commissioning activity"

There is a scheduled production RNS due either Friday or Monday; chill out and wait

The Operational update is due on 27th June going on previous updates; if it is positive then it will be buy buy buy, if not it will be bye bye bye as more investors and traders exit

Whitegate, home tests for the presence of antibodies that appear after the infection, are not accurate. This saliva test about home testing to see if you currently have Covid 19, not whether you have antibodies present post infection, and hence may prove accurate. This may prove great news for us all as individuals but has no relevance at all to the OO antibody testing.
